symbiosis |
answer
theory of eukaryotic cell development; eukaryotes arose from prokaryotes that had engulfed smaller prokaryotes, which then developed into organelles |
question
tissue |
answer
collection of cell that perform a specific function |
question
organ |
answer
collection of tissue that function for a common purpose |
question

answer
types of microorganisms that are unicellular or multicellular |
question
make up of flagella |
answer
9 and 2 arrangement of microtubules |

answer
only present in protozoa and animal cells; used for locomotion and feeding |
question
protozoa and some algae |
answer
types of cells that have flagella |
question
glycocalx |
answer
composed primarily of polysaccharides; function for protection, adhesion, and receiving signals from environment |
question
three arrangements of glycocalx |
answer
fiber network, slime layer, capsule |
question
cell wall |
answer
found in fungi and algae but not in protozoa |
question
cell wall of fungi |
answer
thick inner layer of of polysaccharides (chitin or cellulose) and outer layer of of glycans |
question
crab shell |
answer
common place chitin is found |
question
cell wall of algae |
answer
varied but may contain polysaccharides such as cellulose, pectin, manans, and/or minerals such as silicon dioxide and calcium carbonate |
question
sterols |
answer
rigid lipids that add stability to the cell membrane |
question
transitional vesicles |
answer
packets of protein that bud off the RER and fuse with the golgi |
question
condensing vesicles |
answer
packets of fully processed proteins that leave the golgi for transport to their final location |
question
components in cristae of mitochondria |
answer
enzymes and electron carriers that are responsible for last steps of aerobic respiration in which large amounts of ATP are formed |
question
components of matrix in mitochondria |
answer
metabolic enzymes, ribosomes (70s) and circular DNA |
question
grana |
answer
stacks of discs in chloroplasts |
question
thykaloids |
answer
disc-like sacs in chloroplasts |
question
stroma |
answer
surround thykaloids in chloroplasts |
question
cytoskeleton |
answer
anchors RNA; microfilaments and microtubules |
question
microfilaments |
answer
thin, protein strands; move cytoplasmic components; mediate amoeboid movement |
question
microtubules |
answer
long, hollow tubes; maintain shape of cells that lack cell walls; seperate chromosomes; movement of flagella and cilia |
question
components in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes |
answer
chromosomes, ribosomes, flagella, cell membrane, cell wall, glycocalx |
question
components only present in eukaryotes |
answer
nucleus, golgi, ER, mitochondria, chloroplasts, cilia |
question
yeasts |
answer
round or oval fungi; asexual reproduction via buddin; may for pseudohyphae |
question
hyphae |
answer
long, thread like fungi; common to filamentous fungi |
question
saprobes |
answer
require nutrients from dead matter |
question
obligate parasites |
answer
require host to live |
question
colonies of yeast |
answer
appear soft and have a uniform texture |
question
colonies of filamentous fungi (mycelia) |
answer
appear "hairy" |
question
budding |
answer
way yeast reproduces |
question
fragmentation and spore formation |
answer
ways mold reproduce |
question
sexual sporulation |
answer
provide for gentic variation; always produced after meiosis, but all other aspects vary depending on the species |
question
sporangiospores |
answer
asexual sporulation; sporangium is attached to the sporangiophore, and the spores form from mitotic divisions within the sporangium, and are released when the sporangium ruptures |
question
conidia |
answer
asexual sporulation; free spores are released by the pinching off of the tip of the hypha |
question
fungi |
answer
common cause of allergies; can produce poisonous toxins; important in decomposition; symbiotic relationships with plants to aide in nutrient absorbtion; important source of antibiotics and vitamins for human constipation; important for food production |
question
protists |
answer
algae and protozoa; any unicellular or colonial organism that lacks true tissues |
question
algae |
answer
photosynthetic; unicellular, colonial, or filamentous; pigment present in chloroplasts dictate color; rarely infectious; medical importance is primarily due to toxins in fish that feed on algae; inhabit fresh and marine waters, soil, rocks, and plants; large forms have tissues and simple organs |
question
protozoa |
answer
unicellular; lack chloroplasts; cytoplasm divided into endo and ectoplasm; no cell wall; three groups |
question
ectoderm |
answer
part of cytoplasm in protozoa that facilitate movement and feeding |
question
endoderm |
answer
cytoplasm of protozoa that contain nucelus, mitochondria, vacuoles, etc. |
question
three groups of protozoa |
answer
ciliates, flagellates, and amoebas |
question
ameboid motion |
answer
movement when lacking cilia and flagella |
question
protozoa nutrition |
answer
heterotrophic; oral grooves; need moist environment; may come from plant or animal debris, living bacteria or algae, or host fluids or tissues |
question
classes of protozoa |
answer
mastigiophora, sarcodina, ciliophora, apicomplex |
question
mastigiophora |
answer
flagellates; divide by longitudinal division; some lack mitochondria and golgi; most live as single cells; most can form cysts |
question
examples of mastigiophora |
answer
trypanosoma, leishmania, giardia, trichomonas |
question
sarcodina |
answer
amoebas; divide by fission; most can form cysts; ex. entamoeba |
question
ciliophora |
answer
cilliates; can undergo conjugation; divide by fission; most have oral groove and a feeding organelle; most form cysts; most are harmless |
question
apicomplex |
answer
motility is absent (except in male gametes); asexual and sexual stages; all are parasites; ex. plasmodium and taxoplasma |
question
helminths |
answer
eggs and larvae require microscope but adults do not; all are multicellular; highly developed reproductive potential |
question
two major groups of helminths |
answer
flatworms and roundworms |
question
flatworms |
answer
helminths of thin, segmented body |
question
cestodes |
answer
helminth; tapeworm; all hermaphodites |
question
roundworms |
answer
helminth; elongated, cylindrical, unsegemnted bodies; males and females are distinct; nematodes |
question
major lifecycle stages of helminths |
answer
embryo, larval, adult; can only be completed by transmitting an infective from the body of another host (larval development- intermediate host; adulthood and mating - definitve host) |
